Child care and early education center in Door and Kewaunee counties will be getting more money to offset losses from the pandemic. Governor Tony Evers says an additional $30-million in federal CARES Act funding will go to daycare providers through the Department of Children and Families. Karen Corekin-DeLamer, with the Northern Door Children's Center i Sister Bay, says that money will be helpful in light of falling enrollment.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor's office says 40-percent of Wisconsin's licensed child care and early education centers closed their doors.
